A very elegant hotel not far from Tours- listed with four stars in the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. We were in a lovely,cozy 3rd floor room with exposed beams which in September was comfortable, but I can imagine in the summer it might get a bit warm even with the two air conditioners. We did have 3 windows though. Second floor rooms looked large with very traditional decor. The live soothing jazz Friday on the fountain terrace for cocktails was a pleasant surprise. The delicious food was haute cuisine with some pacific rim touches (like the mango tempura with my fish), but sometimes seemed to be a little overcomplicated. (Minor complaint) Would stay there again, especially for the central location in the Loire Valley.
